What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

Can we ship these dudes one-way to Russia since they love it so much

[–] PaddleMaster@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

I saw an article a few weeks ago that said Russia is building a town for all the Christian’s nationalists. If you build it they will come?

There’s a little orange hand 🤚 up Mike’s ‘puppet hole’

They need something to run on, I think. Abortion is a losing issue that Trump doesn't care about, this and the border stuff are attempts to spin up issues they can run on besides culture war bromides.

Republicans are only allowed to support 1 (one) genocide at a time.

By funding Israel and not Ukraine, they get to support two. Technically three of you're counting the Uyghurs, but that feels like more of a bipartisan effort.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

4 if you count Yemen, but that one's bipartisan too.

[–] anavrinman@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm mad that you're right. Fuck.

I think it's funny that House Republicans don't support a deal that gives them one thing they want in exchange for another thing that they also want. Apparently they believe that Democrats must be allowed to do literally nothing. (Would reverse psychology work on them? Maybe they'll vote for the bill if Biden says he opposes it.)

I didn't think I'd ever root for Mitch McConnell but now I hope he gets these yahoos under control.
